Radisson Hotel Group is further bolstering its presence in India’s thriving tier-2 and tier-3 markets with the signing of four new Park Inn & Suites by Radisson properties. Partnering with NILE Hospitality, these new hotels will come up in Siliguri, Rajkot, Bhuj, and Darbhanga—targeting cities that are fast emerging as important business, cultural, and spiritual hubs.

Each destination offers unique strategic value. In Rajkot, the upcoming hotel will be located in the heart of the city’s bustling business district, with close links to major industrial zones like Jamnagar and Morbi. Darbhanga, Bihar’s evolving commercial centre, is seeing rising demand from both corporate and religious tourism, helped by strong transport connectivity. Meanwhile, Bhuj in Gujarat stands out for its mix of cultural attractions and its proximity to key economic corridors such as Mundra and Bharuch. Siliguri, serving as a gateway to India’s Northeast, continues to attract steady tourism and trade, making it an ideal market for reliable midscale hospitality.

All four hotels will be developed under Radisson’s modern midscale brand, Park Inn & Suites by Radisson, offering contemporary rooms, business amenities, all-day dining, and facilities aimed at delivering consistent value-driven experiences.

This expansion underlines Radisson Hotel Group’s broader strategy to grow its footprint across India’s high-potential secondary and tertiary markets, catering to the increasing need for branded accommodations that blend comfort with dependable service.
